Yeah! If you use procmail, you could pipe your nks mail though this
script:
-- cut
#!/usr/bin/perl -00
my $q = '(\s*[>\|]+\s*)';
while (<>) {
s/^(($q+)*[\-\n]+)*\s*\n?($q+)?(This\s*list.*?its\s*employees\.)$//msg;
print;
}
-- cut
I've been using it for almost a year and haven't seen one of those damn
things. It gets rid of the quoted instances too. I turned it off a
couple weeks ago to see if they were still adding the disclaimer, and
quickly turned it back on. :)
